A better offer isn’t always the biggest number.

Look beyond the headline salary. Compare the work, the journey and the details that affect your day.

01

Separate fixed pay from incentives

Ask which amounts are guaranteed, which depend on attendance or performance, and whether the advertised amount is gross or net. Keep variable bonuses separate when comparing offers.

02

Look at the whole working day

Check the actual work location, transport, shifts, training, working days and breaks. Time spent commuting can change how well an offer fits your life.

03

Get the details in writing

Ask the recruiter to clarify unclear terms before accepting. A published package for one account is not a company-wide salary. Use the calculator as a guide, then confirm the actual payroll details with the employer.

Put it into practice.
